Albert Murse, 64, Garden Grove I think the Supreme Court took the easy way out. They didn't really address the problem. I think its good for that DOMA situation. I think that's good and like in California, they can get back to marrying people and I guess that's fine. I don't think they'll ever resolve it because I'm sure there will be another lawsuit to fight this one. It is what it is. I'm fine with it; one way or the other it doesn't bother me.PRANAY CHAURASIA, ORANGE COUNTY REIGSTER

I was surprised that it was such a close vote and I hope that people just let that ruling stay because I would really like that issue to be out of the news because, honestly, it's just a clear solution. My opinion is humanitarian-based because people should be able to do what they want to do, and if religious people have an issue with marriage being the term, then maybe we should make a new system, a civil-union-type system so people can have the benefits of marriage."

Grace Kamau, 17, Anaheim

Well, I was very, very disappointed with the Supreme Court and their decision not to vote correctly on this type of thing. I feel in their position, they have a lot to say for the general public and the general attitude alongside this, and so I'm very disappointed. I kind of get the feeling like 'gosh, what am I voting for if nobody is supporting it' and yet I was in the majority like so many of the other voters were. I'll keep voting what I think, regardless of what they support or not, and may go a little further and may do a little petitioning and whatnot."

I'm in favor of it. I'm in favor of gay marriage and civil union between two men. I think it's right. There's gay people and they're a big part of our population and I think that they deserve the rights that everybody else has. Otherwise, it's inhumane and it's wrong."

Dylan Pederson, 27, Huntington Beach

The people of California voted twice in favor of Prop. 8 and the fact that the opponents were dissatisfied, they appealed and appealed. The state of California didn't even defend it. The governor, the attorney general did not defend it, and it went to the appeals court and they ruled it unconstitutional when they should have just upheld the law. The voters spoke. I'm disappointed in that the voters, 7 million-plus voters, voted for it. I'm disappointed in it totally."

Anthony Villalobos, 72, Huntington Beach

I think it is going in the progression that it goes, and I think that people that are not of that community, that are not gay, they have to understand what it is. As time goes by, there will be greater understanding and more acceptance. So, I'm not surprised. That's what the court has said and I'm happy. I can go along with it."
